The jingle of bells, the patter of hooves—these are the sounds many children yearn to hear each Christmas Eve. This pure silver coin rekindles that sense of wonder and enchantment. The colourful clarity of Murano glass lends itself beautifully to recreating one of Santa's reindeer in outstanding detail. Pulling the toy-laden sleigh from rooftop to rooftop on a snowy night, our glass reindeer is the perfect reminder that magic is in the air during this festive season.
An ideal Christmas present this winter holiday!
Special features:
BREATHTAKING! Your Murano-glass reindeer features a breathtaking amount of colourful detail from the dark-coloured antlers and hooves, to the bell-dotted harness that famously jingles on this magical night.
UNIQUE! Expertly handcrafted by Italian glassmakers, each Murano glass reindeer is unique to each coin. With an outstanding amount of details on such a small scale, your reindeer is testament to the centuries-old techniques that have made Murano glass such a highly prized art form.
A TREASURED CHRISTMAS KEEPSAKE! The artistry on your coin helps preserve fun memories of holidays past and present, which often set the tone for a lifetime of special holiday moments.
LOW MINTAGE! Only 5,000 coins will be made available worldwide, a lower mintage than last year's Murano holiday coin. Hurry and order yours today before they are all gone!
INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
Designed by Canadian artist Anna Bucciarelli, your coin takes to the skies on Christmas Eve to capture the magic of the holiday season! The snow-blanketed setting below features colour over engraving that re-creates mountains, tall evergreens and a row of homes. As night falls, indoor lighting casts a warm glow from within, while just beyond a front door lies a snowman that hints at the presence of children. But the viewer's gaze naturally gravitates towards the "sky" that fills most of the field, where precision-engraved snowflakes are as unique and intricate as their real-life counterparts. Laden with toys and gifts, Santa's red and gold-coloured sleigh makes its way through this gentle snowfall, pulled by an exquisite Murano glass reindeer. The colourful reindeer-shaped piece is handcrafted by Italian glassmakers, and is unique to each coin. The reverse also features the engraved word "CANADA", the year "2018" and the face value "20 DOLLARS".
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
